Israel should act like it has interests that can be advanced in concert with them and nothing more.<br /><br />After all, relations between states are not based on sentiment or on fidelity. And the other posters are completely correct that Hashem is Israel's only true friend!NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-28681699561829564362013-11-18T23:15:25.643+02:002013-11-18T23:15:25.643+02:00You all have good points.

We would never need the aid of other nations if we would heed His Commandments and rely only on HIM. We read in Nach how when the kings made alliances with their neighbors, it found great disfavor in the 'eyes of H'. Today, since the State looks for help to those who say they will, Israel should 'respect but suspect'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-55949433382370287992013-11-18T16:26:00.248+02:002013-11-18T16:26:00.248+02:00A brilliant quote taken from an editorial from a w...A brilliant quote taken from an editorial from a while back puts it succinctly: "Something smells Vichy."Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338022892863788418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-24595915024023457312013-11-18T15:02:29.634+02:002013-11-18T15:02:29.634+02:00http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/General+News/2...http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/General+News/201703/PHOTOS%3A-Dozens-Of-Tornadoes%2C-Damaging-Storms-Sweep-Through-Midwest-%5BUPDATED%5D.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-76717997527804616932013-11-18T14:45:28.674+02:002013-11-18T14:45:28.674+02:00only Hashem is your true friend.
Hollande Demands...only Hashem is your true friend.<br /><br />Hollande Demands End to Settlements<br /><br />French President Francois Hollande said, Monday, "France demands a full and complete halt to settlement activity." In a speech following talks in Ramallah with Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, Hollande said, "Settlement activity complicates the negotiations and makes it difficult to achieve a two-state solution."<br /><br />Agence France Press reports that on Sunday, Hollande made it clear that France also expected "efforts" from the Palestinian Authority although he did not go into details. A member of his entourage said, "It is clear that this will require efforts from the Palestinians as a number of Israeli settlements will remain."<br /><br />http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/280735#.UooLMNJmiSoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-19728272350753376472013-11-18T08:35:12.431+02:002013-11-18T08:35:12.431+02:00The French haven't forgotten their humiliation...The French haven't forgotten their humiliation at the hands of the Americans on Syria. The Americans put the knife in their back by cutting a separate deal with the Russians.<br /><br />Now they're deligted to put the knife in America's back as payback by making life very difficult for the Americans. Hence, their new-found alliance with Israel.<br /><br />And it does not escape the notice of the energy-hungry French that Israel is to going to become a major energy exporter in the near future. The French are not visiting Israel because they love the Jews.<br /><br />Its just that French interests are best served by drawing closer to Israel now and no one has excelled in the art of serving their own interests as well as the French.<br /><br />Where the most Christian kings of France once allied themselves with the Ottoman Sultan to undermine the Holy Roman Emperor, today the French President, in allying with Israel, is underlining the irrelevance of the American hyperpower in today's Middle East.NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.com
